The struggle , ramified today while some made preparations for the open ing of ths convention proper tomorrow, others got ready for the meeting of the state committee when, preparatory to Colonel Roosevelt's, arrival today, a series of conferences was begun which gave promise of lasting during the night.

He declared as did other members of the party, that' home rule for Ireland was a matter of only a short time.

It's for home rule they are spending money In one of the most .expensive hotels in New York, is it? Well, you can say for me that home rule Is a paltry thing. We want total Inde pendence in Ireland, and nothing else will do." CHANCE FOR 'THE GIRLS. Catholics Raise Ban on Marriage of Unattractive Girls.

(By Cable to The Times.) London, Sept. 26. - A verdict of wilful murder was returned against Dr. H. H.

' The jury further found that the remains disinterred in the cellar of Crippen's Hilldrop Crescent home were those of Belle Elmore and that deatii was due to hyoscin poisoning. Coroner Schroedled called especial attention to the jury to the flight of Crippen and Ethel LeNeve. He pointed out the precautions that were taken of Crippen shaving off his moustache and Miss LeNeve dis guising herself as a boy. However, he informed the jury that its verdict should not mention Miss LeNeve ill any way as she is charged with be ing an accessory after the fact. v The inquest into the mysterious death of Belle Elmore Crippen, for the authorities now assume with pos itiveness, 'that the remains found in I he cellar of Dr. H.

Miss Curnow repeated the evi dence which she gave when Crippen and Miss LeNeve were arraigned in Bow street police court, charged with the murder of Mrs. Crippen. She testified that Crippen told her his wife had died in America lasi February. About the same time, he began a series of financial operations which mainly consisted in getting checks cashed.

She said Crip pen left a package with her to be turned over to Miss LeNeve.
